Tensions between Prince William and Meghan Markle have reportedly reached a new peak over allegations surrounding Princess Diana’s royal jewelry. Sources close to the royal family reveal that Prince William has confronted Meghan about what he perceives as misleading claims and controversy related to the late Diana’s iconic jewelry collection.

The issue partly stems from Meghan's public use and references to Diana's jewelry, which William feels has been misrepresented or exploited. Meghan famously wore Diana’s aquamarine ring at her wedding reception and has occasionally worn pieces linked to Diana’s collection. However, William was reportedly worried from the start, asking the Queen to ensure Meghan would not wear Diana’s jewelry at the wedding ceremony itself. He wanted to protect his mother’s legacy from any perceived misuse or copying, especially in light of Meghan’s attempts to connect herself to Diana’s image and style in recent years.
The confrontation comes amid reports that William is “disturbed” and “alarmed” about missing pieces of Diana’s precious diamonds, some of which were gifted to Meghan by Prince Harry. William’s concern over the security and whereabouts of these sentimental jewels adds tension to an already strained relationship between the brothers and Meghan.
Further aggravating the situation is Meghan’s perceived attempts to fashion herself in Diana’s image, which insiders say William finds disrespectful and even “infuriating.” Meghan’s public displays referencing Diana, including nods to fashion and personal tributes in media projects, have been seen by William as attempts to leverage Diana’s legacy for personal branding, which he is determined to stop.
This royal jewelry dispute symbolizes the deeper fractures within the family, highlighting William's determination to preserve Diana’s memory with reverence while distancing the monarchy from the controversies surrounding Meghan.
